Read these with care
- The median is the middle member: half did more, half did less. It is less affected by a few very active members than the average.
- Ministers answer questions rather than ask them, and the presiding officers rarely vote, so their patterns differ.
- Government backbenchers are often given arranged "Dorothy Dixer" questions, which raises their question counts.
- Votes only record ayes and noes, so a missed vote cannot be told apart from a pair (an agreed absence).
- Counts cover only what is on this site, and do not measure electorate or committee work. New members have less history.
Question Time
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked what actions the government was taking to protect children from online harm and the role of the digital duty of care.
Background: A government member asked the Communications Minister about protecting children from online harm.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister highlighted $6 million in funding for the eSmart program to teach online safety. She introduced the draft Digital Duty of Care, which requires platforms to satisfy the eSafety Commissioner that their tools are safe. The duty of care aims to protect children, remove illegal content, and give users more choice. She noted that more than half of Australian children had experienced cyberbullying.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was backing Pacific nations to deliver a safe and prosperous region.
Background: The member asked about government support for Pacific nations to ensure regional safety and prosperity.
Answer from Pat Conroy
The Minister highlighted the government's role as a partner of choice in the Pacific, citing the recent Pacific Islands Forum summit in Palau. He detailed the endorsement of the Waqa Moana Initiative, backed by a $600 million investment for aerial surveillance and police training to combat transnational crime. He also mentioned the Pacific Policing Initiative, with 120 officers from 13 nations ready to respond to emergencies. Additionally, he noted support for Pacific athletes ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics and the doubling of flights under the Paradise Express program.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was strengthening the economy and supporting wages, and what threats existed to this approach.
Background: A government member asked about the government's economic strategy and threats to it.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister claimed Australia was outperforming all G7 nations in growth, unemployment, participation, and employment growth, with its AAA credit rating confirmed. He acknowledged cost-of-living pressures and highlighted measures including protected penalty rates, criminalising wage theft, and implementing 'same job, same pay' rules. He cited a meeting with the SDA regarding salary increases for retail workers and announced new minimum standards for gig economy workers and wage justice legislation for early childhood educators.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked for an update on the government's actions to address violence against women and children.
Background: The member asked for an update on government efforts to end violence against women and children.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that violence against women and children was a national scourge. He noted that the issue was on the agenda for the next National Cabinet meeting. He mentioned consultations on the second National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children. He reported that $4.4 billion had been delivered since 2022, funding 1,400 organizations. He highlighted the permanent leaving violence payment, ten days of paid domestic and family violence leave, and the recruitment of over 500 new frontline workers. He also cited $1 billion invested in crisis and transitional accommodation.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government ensures Australians earn and keep more, how the budget delivers aspiration for all, and what risks exist to this approach.
Background: The member sought to highlight the government's budget measures for workers and first-home buyers.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister highlighted the 4.75 per cent minimum wage increase, which makes lowest-paid workers $12,000 better off annually compared to 2022. He stated that the government has delivered five income tax cuts and five consecutive minimum wage increases. He contrasted this with the opposition's support for low wages and higher taxes, asserting that Labor supports aspiration for all Australians.
Question from Kara Cook
The member inquired about steps taken to secure fuel supplies and what budget initiatives would improve Australia's position for future fuel security challenges.
Background: The member asked about government actions to secure additional fuel for Australia and what budget measures would ensure resilience against future uncertainty.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The Minister stated that Australia currently holds more fuel than on 28 February, with 42 days of petrol, 35 days of diesel, and 29 days of jet fuel. He attributed this to government-industry cooperation and diplomatic efforts with South-East Asian partners. The government had adjusted diesel standards and released strategic reserves. The budget would establish a government-owned strategic reserve of one billion litres to address regional shortages, aligning Australia with 22 of the 32 International Energy Agency governments that hold such reserves.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was tackling housing challenges and what other approaches were available.
Background: A government member asked the Minister for Housing how the government was tackling housing challenges and what other approaches existed.
Answer from Clare O'Neil
The minister stated that 570,000 homes had been built since the government took office, with 6,000 social and affordable dwellings finished and 24,000 in the planning or building stages. She noted that rental standards had improved for all renters and that approvals were up seven per cent year on year. She criticized the opposition for opposing 30,000 social and affordable homes under the Housing Australia Future Fund and 80,000 homes through build-to-rent changes. She argued that the opposition's approach would build fewer homes and make housing more expensive.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked what actions the government is taking to support farmers in producing food and fibre during the Middle East conflict.
Background: Impact of Middle East conflict on farmers.
Answer from Julie Collins
The Minister stated that the ACCC and Australian Institute of Petroleum are working with suppliers to address bottlenecks and ensure fuel reaches regional communities. She noted that penalties for false conduct and cartel behaviour have been doubled, and fuel price monitoring is being ramped up. She confirmed that the National Coordination Mechanism is active and that similar arrangements are being made for fertiliser supply, with much of the required fertiliser already in the country or en route. She urged all parties to act in the national interest rather than exploiting the crisis.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was securing national fuel supplies, why transport industry collaboration was important, and how MPs could encourage normal fuel usage.
Background: The member asked about government efforts to secure fuel supplies and the importance of working with the transport industry.
Answer from Catherine King
The Minister stated that Australia was fuel secure due to government actions including the minimum stockholding obligation and keeping refineries open. She noted that all scheduled deliveries had arrived but acknowledged regional shortages due to doubled or tripled diesel demand. She reported meetings with fuel suppliers and transport providers to manage distribution. The ACCC was tasked with monitoring for price gouging. She urged MPs to discourage panic buying and spread responsible messages.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was helping households strengthen the grid and why returning to past policies was unaffordable.
Background: A government member asked about helping households strengthen the grid and why past policies should be avoided.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The minister reported that 256,630 households had installed home batteries, doubling capacity in eight months. He criticized the opposition for 22 failed energy policies and for allowing coal plants to close without replacement. He alleged that the Leader of the Opposition had changed laws to hide a 20 per cent energy price rise before the 2022 election.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was providing an energy system that was cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable.
Background: The government is promoting cleaner and cheaper energy through battery installations and renewable energy.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The Minister reported that 219,750 cheaper home batteries had been installed since July 1, with 42 per cent in rural and regional areas. He highlighted record renewable energy supply in the pipeline and new generation connected to the grid. He contrasted this with the previous government's failure to deliver new energy capacity, citing the Collinsville coal-fired power station feasibility study as an example of wasted spending.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was delivering on promises to ease cost-of-living pressures, increase wages, and strengthen Medicare, and whether any risks threatened these plans.
Background: The member sought an update on government commitments regarding cost of living, wages, and Medicare.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister listed delivered measures including the installation of over 11,000 home batteries, $10,000 bonuses for construction apprentices, free TAFE, a 20 per cent reduction in student debt, and open five per cent deposits for first home buyers. He noted that bulk-billing incentives had led to over 2,600 GP clinics committing to bulk-billing all patients. He asserted that the opposition was defined by what they opposed rather than by policy delivery.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was delivering credible climate action and why this was important for the region.
Background: A government member asked the Deputy Prime Minister about the importance of climate action for Australia's regional standing.
Answer from Richard Marles
The minister stated that meaningful climate action is the entry point for engagement with Pacific nations, whose security is threatened by rising sea levels and storm surges. He highlighted the government's bid to host COP31 as an opportunity to amplify the Pacific's climate story. He contrasted this with the previous government's approach, which he claimed involved making jokes at the expense of Pacific nations, and emphasized that climate action is central to Australia's economic prosperity and regional standing.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was fulfilling its pledge to assist young Australians to progress and whether any barriers were impeding this agenda.
Background: The government has implemented several policies aimed at assisting young Australians with financial pressures.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister listed several measures including a 20 per cent cut to student debt benefiting three million students and apprentices, saving an average of $512 each. He noted the legislation for free TAFE to provide skills for desired jobs and the passing of laws to legally guarantee penalty rates for weekend and overtime work. He also mentioned accelerating the five per cent deposit scheme to 1 October to help first home buyers and freezing the draught beer excise. He concluded that these measures support young Australians in work, housing, and leisure.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked the Prime Minister to detail the government's progress in fulfilling its commitments to the Australian people regarding building the nation's future.
Background: A government member asked the Prime Minister to outline how the administration was delivering on its election promises to build Australia's future.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister highlighted that annual inflation had fallen to 2.1 per cent, remaining in the Reserve Bank's target band for 12 months, compared to a quarterly rate of 2.1 per cent under the previous government. He cited lower inflation, higher wages, and lower taxes as benefits for households. He mentioned commitments to combat social media harms for children, strengthen Medicare, and improve education through student debt reductions and free TAFE. He noted that cost-of-living measures had been delivered on 1 July.
Question from Kara Cook
The member asked how the government was fulfilling its promise to protect wages and assist Australians in retaining more of their income.
Background: A government member asked the Prime Minister about the delivery of commitments to protect wages and help Australians keep more of their earnings.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister highlighted the introduction of legislation to enshrine penalty rates for 2.6 million Australians. He cited tax cuts for low-income earners, three increases in minimum and award wages including a 3.5 per cent rise on 1 July, and 18 months of real wage growth. He also noted the creation of 1.1 million jobs, a record-low gender pay gap, and pay increases in feminized industries, contrasting this with the Coalition's past opposition to IR reforms.
